Let me speak in two parts.
Firstly, a couple of closing words to end this Encounter. Let me give you some insights on the ‘behind the scenes” challenges in organizing this Conference.
The original intent was to host this Encounter in England. Even up to August last year, this was our intent. I still remember that when the...

This message was presented by Bishop Stephen Kaziimba on Abp Henry Orombi's behalf.
I want to begin my portion of the presentation on Mission and Evangelism by reminding us of a very familiar passage in the Gospels. Mathew 9.35-37 says,
